'Lobster Back' Inlet Elbow
The original black plastic elbow that sits on top of the carb. has
many flaws. Our all alloy replacement has many advantages over the
original, especially the name! - 'Lobster Back' refers to the cutting
and welding process using wedge sections of alloy tube welded together
to produce the necessary larger radius curve. Diameter is also increased
slightly and maintained along the entire length emproving on the restrictive
design of the original shape.
Advantages:-
(1) It looks splendid highly polished to a mirror finish.
(2) The triangular flange does not distort or crack like the plastic
one, ensuring good seal and no power loss.
(3) The round end, where the boost hose clamps cannot distort, again
ensuring no leaks or popping-off of the hose a real favourite with
the plastic item.
(4) Four outlets, whereas the original has three outlets, we have
included a 4th, complete with blanking plug for when not in use. This
enables a boost gauge to be connected, without having to cut any hoses
and mess around with 'T' pieces.
(5) For ultimate performance, a gas-flowed / blueprint version is
available. This is gas-flowed by hand to further remove restriction,
allowing perfect flow of air in to the carb. ONTEST As tested in Fast
Five Issue 3. The pressure drop is considerably reduced due to better
flow and seals.
This corresponds to a good increase in power! Try it.

Twin-skinned Turbo Heatshield (ED088)
This is manufactured from S316 grade stainless steel and highly polished
to a 'chrome-like' finish. Being stainless steel, it cannot burn or
deteriorate in the way the original shield does. The twin skin creates
a thermal barrier, preventing power-robbing hot air being drawn in
through the air filter system. It is easy to remove and re-fit. The
appearance is enhanced by the laser-cut 'GT Tuning' logo on the top
surface and, as if this were not enough, it's also less expensive
than the standard heatshield! Why have matt black when you can have
chrome? £79 + VAT
GTT Polished Alloy Degassing Chamber (ED089)
This replaces the Renault plastic item which has been known to split
resulting in almost instant head gasket failure. Easy to fit and no
visible welds when fitted. £65 + VAT
GTT Polished Alloy Breather Chamber (ED090)
Similar construction to our degassing chamber, special baffled design
prevents oil leakage. Fitted in five minutes, again no visible welds. £49 + VAT
GTT
Polished Stainless Steel Top Water Hose Insert (ED091)
Basically this allows most of the top water hose to be removed except
for approx. 4" or so at each end. The insert features flared
ends to prevent the rubber hose from slipping off. Water flow is
improved due to the impossibility of it crushing or sucking in at
high rpm looks great. £25 + VAT
GTT
Polished Alloy Header Tank (ED092)
This directly replaces the original plastic item. It benefits greatly
over others we have seen in many ways. Firstly, it is baffled. That
means that inside the tank is a horizontal aluminium divider with
a small hole in the centre. This all-important feature ensures water
completely covers the bottom section of the tank at all times. Without
it, under hard acceleration, steep inclines or hard right turns, it
would be possible for air to enter the system, causing an air lock,
which would blow the head gasket very easily. (It still amazes us
the short cuts others will take to save a few bob!) Secondly, our
tanks include a beautifully made 'ninja throwing star' style, highly
polished alloy filler cap, infinitely better than the standard plastic
cap used by others. Lastly, the system features an adjustable pressure
release valve. This is factory pre-set by us, but can be adjusted
if necessary. Construction and finish is stunning. A baffle plate
has now also been fitted to the underside of the ninja cap to prevent
any leakage from the pressure release valve when used on vehicles
where a blocked radiator is producing too much system pressure. NB
can be easily adapted for phase 1 cars too. £139 + VAT
GTT 2 Section Chrome Scottle Covers (ED093)
Electrically insulated cover for battery, and second matching cover

in these compartments. Includes 8 mini mounting brackets and bolts.
A must for all tidy engine bay freaks. (see back cover) £85 + VAT
GTT Radiator Cover Plate (ED094)
Highly polished stainless steel, machined and formed radiator cover.

Chrome
Rocker covers (ED095)
Essential centre piece for all modified engines. These are sold on
exchange. Why not have one fitted during a GTT full engine tune. Doing
so means there is no labour charge involved as it is removed anyway! £49 + VAT.
GTT
'Ninja Throwing Star' Oil Filler Cap (ED098)

in construction and appearance to the header tank cap supplied with

time 30 seconds! £29 + VAT
